Explanation and Etymology - (庭) niwa
庭 (にわ) is a Japanese word that means "garden" or "patio". The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the term was written as "niwa" in Chinese characters. It is believed that the word originated from the verb "niu", which means "to cultivate" or "to prepare the land for planting". Over time, the meaning of the word evolved to refer to an outdoor space surrounded by a house or building. Nowadays, the word is often used to refer to traditional Japanese gardens, which are known for their beauty and harmony with nature.How to Write in Japanese - (庭) niwa
